Vodka Collins
Vodka Collins is a delightful twist on the classic Tom Collins, substituting gin for vodka. This cocktail combines the crispness of vodka with fresh lemon juice and a touch of sweetness from simple syrup, topped off with club soda for a fizzy finish. It’s an ideal drink for summer gatherings or casual evenings.
